There was a discussion on the M1903/ A3 page about serial numbers of the Remington M1934 built for Honduras. It seems as if there were only ~3000 built but the serial numbers go higher than 3000. I provided the following info:
" Perhaps the serial number sequence started at 1000. Some countries did not want anyone to calculate how many rifles they had. During WWI the Germans with their GEWicon 98 used a 4 digit system. I do not know where they started but I believe that they started with 1000. The first 10000 started with 1000a and ended with 9999a, then the next sequence started at 1000b to 9999b, etc."
Is this a fair description of the GEW numbering system?
